Brooklyn Art Library is home to The Sketchbook Project – a compendium of 35,179 artists’ sketchbooks from over 135 countries. The library serves as a reading room where you can get cozy and spend an afternoon enjoying artwork in a hands-on experience. Each sketchbook is individually barcoded and cataloged with searchable details, like where the book came from, the materials used, the artists name, tag words and oh-so-much more. Anyone can contribute to The Sketchbook Project. Available for purchase at the library are all the tools and art supplies a writer or artist requires to complete and decorate their personalized book. When finished, it can become part of the ever-growing collection. Books have been used to memorialize friends or family members, as a time capsule, a travel journal and even a marriage proposal (which was actually hidden within a featured sketchbook.) Located in Williamsburg Brooklyn, the Library encourages interaction between artists and those they reach through their work.
